Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Budget Should Not Be Cut | OBROLANBISNIS.com — With the government’s policy regarding budget efficiency, the Medan City Government, especially the Medan City Cooperative Office, has also been affected.
The budget that is usually allocated for empowering Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Medan City has also been affected.
With this condition, member of Commission III of the Medan DPRD Sri Rezeki really hopes that the Medan City Cooperative Office will not cut the budget allocated for empowering Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.
“I hope that the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise budget will not be cut, because there is still a lot of budget needed to empower these Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises,” Sri Rezeki requested during a Hearing Meeting with the Medan City Cooperative Office.
Not only the budget for packaging, continued Sri, but also to improve the mindset of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, that requires funds. “We have assisted Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. From the mindset we uphold to digital training, what the marketing is like, then we also provide a place. All of that requires funds. If the budget is cut, I think what can Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises do later,” said the PKS politician.
Therefore, Sri continued, I want to provide input, maybe it is necessary to collaborate with whether the Cooperative Social Responsibility (CSR) from banks or other companies that can be collaborated with.
“From small things, some of them sell dishwashing soap. We help design the packaging in such a way. From them (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) not being sure about their products to being sure and good, all of this requires funds,” said Sri.
As conveyed by the meeting leader, still Sri, so that a solution can be found in the future so that they can. “I wonder what steps will be taken,” said Sri.
Regarding the red and white cooperative, Sri Rezeki welcomed the program because this is a central program from the president. The target is approximately 80 thousand. But what needs to be requested is to eliminate the hoax issue that makes people think that being a cooperative administrator will be paid.
“Indeed, it needs to be cleared up in the community. So that they don’t think that after becoming an administrator, it’s easy to get Rp4 million, Rp8 million. This is the role of the Cooperative Office to clear up this problem,” he requested.
I am sure, continued Sri, that it has been resolved at the administrator level. But on social media it is necessary, there should be no more language about Rp8 million for administrators and so on. That could backfire. ***
